Wow, can you imagine all of the stormtrooper costumes JJ and company had to build from scratch in order to film that scene???

Are you just being naive? Obviously scenes like that are done with the addition of CG and crowd replacement. (They Film a section with real people, move them into different positions and it gets combined in composite during editing. Of course, I could be wrong its they really made thousands of costumes

This is fantastic. I really like how the music is cut for the teaser. I also think it's kind of amazing that we're about 4 months out and have seen as little from the film as we have. That will change when the toys hit next month but I remember around Jan 2005 when we started getting tons of leaks and press stills from ROTS.

Based on the current rumors, the new shot isn't from the movie's final montage. Both TFA and AOTC are attempting to emulate the The Triumph of the Will / the annual Nazi Nuremberg rallies.

In my mind, the First Order's theme should be a blend of the Imperial March and the Battle Droid's theme from TPM. After all, the First Order shares the Empire's totalitarian dogma and the Confederacy's separatist status.
